Un seul dicton pour résumer notre état d’esprit : Œil pour œil, dent pour dent. Chaque coup donné sera rendu. Quel qu'il soit, qu'importe le temps écoulé. Une seule loi à respecter : aucune pitié. Les armes ne sont pas égales... Mais d'ailleurs, l'ont-elles déjà été ? Un seul mot d'ordre à écouter : ne réfléchis point et fonce dans le tas. Les guerriers que nous sommes ne pardonnent pas.
